Tropes Of Music Videos

Different Types Of Music Videos

• Narrative
• Montage
• Cartoon
• Performance
• Lip Sync 
• One Cut Video
• Artist Absent
• Random
• Intertextuality

My favourite music genre is Indie and so I decided to look at the tropes for the videos of this genre. I did this by watching Mumford and Sons - 'The Cave'. The tropes that I decided on were;

• Artistic
• Pretty locations
• High Production Value
• Calm
• Relaxing
• No sexism
• Seems Spontaneous  

Videos like this, that are quite weird but just fit the song, I really like. The concept is simple but the way it's displayed is clever and tasteful making the video a very good one!
